10002. And shalt wash them with waters. That this signifies purification by means of the truths of faith, is evident from the signification of "washing with waters," as being purification by means of the truths of faith (see n. 3147, 5954, 9088); (that all purification and regeneration are effected by means of the truths of faith, see n. 2799 middle, 7044, 8635-8640, 8772; and that "waters" denote the truths of faith, n. 739, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 7307, 8568).
